Gary Clark, F, Cincinnati
Height: 6’8” | Weight: 225 | Age: 23
2017–18 Stats: 12.9 PPG, 8.7 RPG, 43.5% 3FG

Clark looks the part as a potential small-ball four man after making massive strides over the course of his career at Cincinnati, particularly as a three-point shooter and passable perimeter decision-maker. He’s undersized and would be classically defined as a tweener, but his defensive know-how and ability to defend both wings and bigger post players certainly helps in that department. Not many players can say they averaged a block and a steal per game in all four years of their college career. He plays with energy and smarts, and while his performance was a bit up and down at Portsmouth, he remains a player teams are seriously interested in and a potential second-round selection. And if Clark can’t make it as an NBA role player, there should be plenty of lucrative opportunities waiting for him overseas.

Nice write up. I hope he has a long, successful career!

28 team logo Warriors
Jacob Evans | Cincinnati | Jr | SF

Evans is a do-everything wing who guards multiple positions, plays tough and consistently makes outside jumpers -- evidence being how he shot 39.4 percent from 3-point range in his final two years at Cincinnati while helping the Bearcats earn a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament this season. Just seems perfect for the Warriors, right?

Seems like he's a 1st rounder way more often than not.

its not an explosive 40 and it doesn't happen in congested areas.



40 isn't what it used to be. nba is just insane these days.


the way i always look at it is there is melvin levett and there is james white. melvin could jump from anywhere at any time and instantly be at the peak of his jump. james white needed space and time. evans is more like white.

If Evans indeed has a 40” vertical, it’s elite no matter how you slice it. http://theexercisers.com/how-to-increase-vertical-jump/average-vertical-jump/highest-vertical-jump-in-nba/

and he might get on that list with James White. But thats not all there is to athleticism.


nba is loaded with guys that are quick jumpers and have extremely quick first steps. thats the athleticism the nba is looking for when judging you simply on athletic ability.



but the D and 3 guys aren't the hyper athletic guys for the most part. his vert is a nice addition to the strengths of his game.
